Qin Ruoruo knew that she had let something slip, and she also knew that Gu Yanyue was not so easy to get rid of, so she simply revealed the whole truth: "Before, you asked me to give the princess some life-saving and sleeping pills, and I also gave her some poison. A few days ago, she came to the Duke of Qin's mansion to take some away..."
Gu Yanyue suddenly stood up, walked quickly to Qin Ruoruo, squeezed her shoulders tightly, forced her to look at him, and asked anxiously: "Did you give it to me?"
Qin Ruoruo was startled by Gu Yanyue's action and stammered: "Of course I gave it to you... I gave it to you..."
"Ridiculous!" Gu Yanyue was so angry that her heart ached. She didn't know which family member Murong Yue and Qin Ruoruo inherited their personalities from, to even dare to think of murdering a member of the royal family. "Did she say when she would poison Prince Xiang?"
Seeing that Gu Yanyue had rarely lost her temper, Qin Ruoruo knew that this matter was indeed serious, and replied weakly: "She didn't say..."
Gu Yanyue first loosened her hand on Qin Ruoruo, walked around the hall a few steps, and then walked back to Qin Ruoruo. She was so angry that she stomped her feet and said, "Someone, prepare a car for me. I want to leave the palace."
Qin Ruoruo also realized that if they were found to have murdered a member of the royal family, then according to the law, she and Murong Yue would be executed along with their entire clan. Moreover, Murong Yue was a princess of a neighboring country. If this were to be discovered, it might even provoke a war between the two countries. In that case, the people would suffer. "Sister Gu, do you want me to come with you?"
Gu Yanyue waved her hand and said, "Too many people will attract the attention of King Xiang. I can go alone."
Yuwen Ran didn't get a chance to say anything the whole time. He just watched Gu Yanyue rush out of the palace. He could only pull the eunuch who was serving beside him and told him: "Remember to bring a few more people with you to secretly protect the queen."
The father-in-law received the order and hurriedly ran to catch up with Gu Yanyue.
When Gu Yanyue arrived at Xiangwang's house, he asked the servant at the door to take her directly in to find Murong Yue. When the servant saw that Gu Yanyue had shown the queen's token, he did not dare to stop her and took Gu Yanyue to Murong Yue's bedroom.
Murong Yue was embroidering a handkerchief in her room at the moment. Seeing Gu Yanyue coming, she quickly put down what she was holding and came out to greet her with a smile on her face, "Why are you here?"
When Gu Yanyue saw Murong Yue, she dismissed the servants and said, "I have something private to say to the princess, so you can go back first."
Gu Yanyue knew Murong Yue's personality, so she didn't beat around the bush and directly told her the purpose of her visit. "Hand over the medicine you took from Qin Ruoruo to me right away."
Gu Yanyue was afraid of being overheard, so she didn't explain it too clearly. As soon as Murongyue heard it, she knew why Gu Yanyue had come this time. From the moment Gu Yanyue sent the servants away, Murongyue knew that Gu Yanyue had definitely not come to see her. She just didn't know that Qin Ruoruo had actually told Gu Yanyue about her plan to poison Prince Xiang.
Seeing Murong Yue pursed her lips and remained silent, Gu Yanyue changed her tone and gently advised: "Yue'er, you know that your engagement with the King of Xiang is directly related to the peace between the two countries. If this matter is exposed, do you know how serious the consequences will be?"
Murong Yue was about to answer when she heard a small noise outside the door. Then she heard someone outside scolding, "The Princess and the Queen are having a private conversation inside. How can they allow you to come barging around outside?"
That was the voice of Murong Yue's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. Murong Yue immediately realized that walls could hear her, and suddenly she lost her temper at Gu Yanyue, "I used to treat you like a sister, but now the prince and I haven't had a few days of peace, and you're so eager to come and sow discord between us."
Before Gu Yanyue could react, Murong Yue pushed her out, shouting as she walked: "I don't need you to pretend to come see me in the future! The prince and I are very good friends, and our future will be better and better!"
After saying that, he pushed Gu Yanyue out of the room, then slammed the door shut, completely isolating Gu Yanyue outside.
Gu Yanyue was inexplicably yelled at by Murong Yue. After returning to the palace, she felt more and more that something was wrong the more she thought about it. Two days later, she left the palace again and went to Prince Xiang's Mansion.
But this time, she was stopped by the servants at the door before she even set foot into Prince Xiang's mansion. "The princess said that from now on, whenever the queen comes, she will not be allowed into the mansion. Your Majesty, we servants only obey the master's orders. Look at this..."
Gu Yanyue didn't want to embarrass the servant directly, so she had to return to the palace without success.
This matter was exaggerated and spread to the ears of Prince Xiang and the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was in a good mood the whole day after hearing it. She had been waiting for the Queen and Princess Xiang to break up, so that Princess Xiang would have no external support and would have to rely on Prince Xiang for her future.
After hearing this, Prince Xiang rushed back to the palace after the court session. As soon as he got back to the palace, he went straight to Murong Yue's bedroom and gave her a few fake lectures, saying that Gu Yanyue was the queen after all, and it was not proper to openly block her from entering the palace. Furthermore, if the Imperial Censor found out, he would report her to the Emperor.
Murong Yue responded repeatedly, saying that she would pay more attention next time. Then she suddenly stood up and sat on the King's lap. She put her soft lips to the King's ear and whispered, "Your Highness, we didn't even drink the wedding wine when we got married. How about we go through all the procedures again tonight?"
Murong Yue was very close, and all the breath she exhaled blew on King Xiang's neck, making him feel itchy. It was rare for Murong Yue to take the initiative to show weakness to him, so he had to seize this opportunity to have the marriage consummation he had always dreamed of.
Despite this, he still said to Murong Yue sternly, "Can you blame me for not drinking the wedding wine? I was knocked unconscious and thrown to the ground the moment I stepped into the room that day."
Seeing this, Murong Yue nuzzled into Prince Xiang's arms and whispered, "I was ignorant before, please don't hold a grudge against me, Your Highness."
"How could I possibly bear a grudge against my own wife?" Prince Xiang was so enraged by Murong Yue that he couldn't wait until night. He simply picked her up and walked into the inner room. "Don't wait until night. I can fill you in on the process right now."
Murong Yue nestled in King Xiang's arms, instructed him to take out the wine utensils from the cabinet, poured him some wine herself, and then took King Xiang's arm in her arms. Watching King Xiang drink up every drop of the wine in the glass, the smile on Murong Yue's face deepened.
For King Xiang, aphrodisiacs were not easy to come by. He hurriedly carried Murong Yue to the bed and said, "After we drink the wedding wine, it's time to go to the bridal chamber." As he said that, he lowered his head and kissed her.
For a moment, no one spoke in the room, leaving only Murong Yue's uncontrollable cries of pain.
